CRON error when sending notification test e-mails

Hi folks

Ever since I've upgraded to OMV5 I've been unable to setup notifications - tried all sorts to resolve in terms of e-mail accounts used, app specific passwords etc, but with zero success.

At the moment I have my notifications setup to be sent from Hotmail and received by a gmail account:

smtp-mail.outlook.com

587

SMARTTLS

my full hotmail address

recipient - my full gmail address

Whenever I try and send a test e-mail, the only entry in the system log is the following:

openmediavault CRON[13299]: (root) CMD ( test -x /usr/sbin/wakealarm && /usr/sbin/wakealarm > /dev/null 2>&1)

I do have a scheduled wake alarm for the server at 6.30am, but it makes no odds whether this is switched on or off - the error remains.

Any ideas very welcome - my main worry is that at the moment I have to log in to the webgui regularly, just to make sure one of my older storage drives isn't failing

I found

smtp.live.com

for hotmail.

Tried it - same error message

I've tried changing the SMTP port too, and the only way I can get it to not throw the error is using port 25, rather than 587 or 465. But still nothing comes through and no other error logs......

Nope, no difference. It's frustrating not knowing if it's an e-mail settings issue or something related to my OMV setup.

I've tried setting up with gmail but it's a nightmare with 2 factor authentication and having to allow insecure access - not least as gmail seems to randomly switch security settings back on after 6 months or so....

Just to close this off, further assistance off the back of another user's issue highlighted my problems were all permissions related - link below to where the fix was detailed

RE: Email notification question

What you post looks reasonable. What do you mean wit "hull entries"

> /dev/null  only means the output of that script should not be written. aka "piped to dev/null"
